While some research has indicated that newborn infants possess information about the general characteristics of faces, teh majority of studies indicate that infants may take several months before they respond selectively to faces. Mark Johnson and John Marton examine the results of their own replication and extension of both sets of findings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBiology and Cognitive Development\u003c\/i\u003e offers an important new theory of the development of face recognition and what it can tell us about the interaction between nature and nurture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eMark Johnson\u003c\/b\u003e obtained his degree in Psychology from Edinburgh University and his PhD from the Zoology Department at Cambridge Development Unit, before recently taking up an appointment as Associate Professo of Psychology at Carnegie Mellon University.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Morton\u003c\/b\u003e came to London in 1985 to head the new MRC Cognitive DEvelopment Unit.
